I tend to think that the never-ending carousel of Alabama coordinators has finally ended up with two over whom I think we have a significant advantage. I think they both have been slow to make adjustments, if at all, and rely on talent to a significant extent. While you could argue that Elliott does the same thing, he does seem to bring an A game in big games, last year's semi-final excluded. We need to exploit and/or create matchups that give us an advantage on offense. I have no doubt that Venables will have us ready on defense. If they beat us, I think it'll have to be physically. Not much more you can ask.
BLUF: If we can survive the initial onslaught, ie. the first quarter, I think our coaching/adjustments could well be the difference in this one.
